With "Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV" being shown in theaters last July, the anticipation of fans for "Final Fantasy XV" only heightened. Fans and players of the game were left wanting more.

Fortunately, they will not have to wait long for the game's release. Nov. 29, 2016 has been set as the game's release date, and now all that's left is to update fans of the game on what the actual game has to offer based on what the movie previewed.

Recently, Square Enix released 40 minutes worth of gameplay, half of which is shown below. The gameplay will give players an idea of what "Final Fantasy XV" has in store for fans.

According to Game Rant, the gameplay looks more polished compared to other videos for the game shown last August. This means that developers from Square Enix are hard at work and doing a mighty fine job of prepping the game for players.

There are reports that "Final Fantasy XV" will feature magic, albeit in a more innovative way. Unlike in previous iterations of the game, magic will play a vital role and be integrated more into the latest game's gameplay. Apparently, players will now be able to do spell-crafting, scour re-agents in various parts of the game, which may then be used to create spells. As shown in the video, various crafting methods, as well as available spells, will be included in the upcoming game.

Meanwhile, a recent tweet quoting an article from Weekly Jump magazine shared tidbits about the "FinalFantasy XV" gameplay. It seems the game will feature the Shiva summon. Shiva is known as the water goddess or empress of ice.

In "Final Fantasy XV," Shiva may be summoned by players, allowing them to take advantage of the monster's signature attack known as the Diamond Dust.

In related news, those who pre-ordered "Final Fantasy XV" from Square Enix's official website will have the chance to win a custom Xbox One console which was designed with Noctis' Engine Blade weapon in mind.

"Final Fantasy XV" is coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on Nov. 29.
